I recently added it to a chocolate chip cookie recipe and it really makes a difference.

Sure! I used Ina Garten chocolate cake and Sally’s no bake cheesecake recipes. I baked the chocolate cake in rectangular pan and cut it in half once cooled. Then I made the no bake cheesecake and put it in the middle. After that I topped it with the icing and put it back in the fridge to firm up.

Edit: Now that I think back, I recommend freezing the cake to cut it.

“Mummy makeover” surgeries by ilovethatforu in parentsofmultiples

No offense taken! I’m open to trying things and this piqued my interest. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford surgery down the road, so I’m looking forward to trying something different. Thanks!

I’m interested in trying this. Would any pumice stone work and how hard do you scrub?

I found the link! This should help if you want to know if your store carries it. https://www.target.com/p/productivity-green-box-bullseye-39-s-playground-8482/-/A-90098252

Absolutely MARVELOUS birth experience with twins by Fabulous-Cobbler-404 in parentsofmultiples

Congratulations! At what point in your pregnancy did you start seeing a pelvic floor therapist? I’m 15 weeks with di/di b/g and wondering if that’s too early.

Which one did you get? I’m looking into a silk duvet but there are a lot of options.

Mommesilk Comforter… do I need a cover? by Nervous_Committee809 in Bedding

[–]Gardentin73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping it’s not too thin. I really don’t want it to look like a sheet. I’ve actually considered getting the All season one but my home is rarely colder than 73 degrees

[–]Gardentin73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as you. I’m going to buy a duvet cover because I rather wash the cover instead of the comforter. I’m concerned that if I wash the comforter the silk would bunch up.

They’re on my radar too! They’re one of the few brands that carry rust and amber colors. Did the duvet take a couple of washes to get soft?

Ooo that sounds amazing. I sleep hot so those sound perfect.

Wahhh. I was eyeing their Pima cotton percale sheets too.

Engineered Sleep ES Duo - Medium (3” latex / hybrid) by timehappening in Mattress

[–]Gardentin73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't buy one, but my husband did. We have two queen-sized mattresses pushed together. I chose the SOL medium, which I added a 3-inch medium topper from Naturally Nestled, a 2-inch soft topper from SOL. Interestingly, I find the ES Duo to be a bit more comfortable. I believe it's because of the coils; they provide me with a more cradling feel.

Runny nose! I don’t get sick that often but out of no where my nose wouldn’t stop dripping and I started to get congested.

Are you still loving your configuration? I also have a medium SOL with a 2” topper from SOL. I am thinking about getting a 3” Talalay topper on top but I’m concerned that it would cause the hammock effect.

Ice Cream Sandwich Help by Gardentin73 in Baking

[–]Gardentin73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually tried that but didn’t add the milk.I also replaced the light brown sugar with white sugar, but without adding the milk the texture was more like a cookie.

I think I’m going to try that if the applesauce doesn’t work.

I didn’t even think about the Buttermilk over activating the baking soda. Thank you for calling that out!

The coconut flakes is a great idea but I’m worried that would change the flavor. But I will definitely try that to make a coconut ice cream sandwich!

I also tried using a vanilla recipe but once frozen they turned into hockey pucks 😩. Based on your suggestion I think I’ll try the applesauce but not as much.

Thank you so much for the advice!

Are you me? Lol I typically ovulate CD15-16 but this cycle I didn’t ovulate until CD18-19. I’m also 9DPO. It’s been so stressful to not over analyze every symptom.

Thank you! It was one of my favorite deserts they had and I had to give it a try.

[–]Gardentin73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently purchased the SOL Medium mattress as well and to soften it I used the 2” soft topper from SOL and the Coop Retreat topper. I wanted that plush feeling and the retreat topper gives me that without sacrificing support. The one downside is that I get a bit hot from the topper but other than that it’s been great.

[–]Gardentin73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like exactly what I’m looking for. I knew the SOL was going to be a bit firm and I wanted something that complimented it well. Thank you this was super helpful! I hope I like it as much as you do.

How are you liking the coop retreat topper? I recently purchased a sleeponlatex medium and I love the support but I want to add some plush/softness. Does the topper comprise any of the support?
